I did an initial sync of my N900 with Google (contacts/calendar) and it seemed to work OK. But I turned off automatic syncing because I'm worried about the integrity of my data.

I realize that some of the fields I use the most (like Notes) aren't visible using the Maemo contacts app. Hopefully that will be fixed in an update.

But here's what I'm worried about. Some of the data in the fields I do see seem incomplete. For example. I have a contact called "Acton Boxborough Regional High School Attendence Line".

After sync, this shows up on the N900 as "Acton Line". Specifically, any contact with more than two words in the name ends up visible on the N900 as just "firstword lastword".

If MfE syncs with google again, will it cause the contact's name to be damaged?

If I edit this contact on the N900 to (say) add a phone number, will it then damage the name in the google data store?

I hope someone can give me the answer.

Thanks,
